Application filed September 25,1394 Serial No. 524,017. (No model.)

T0 @525 whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MINOTTE E. CHAIFIELD, of New Haven, in the county ofNew Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement inPackages for Sheathing-Paper; and I do hereby declare the following,when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the lettersof reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the same, and which said drawings constitute part of thisspecification, and represent, in

Figure 1, a perspective View of a package of sheathing paper; Fig. 2, aside view of the same, with the wrapper removed and thenarrow rollpartially detached; Fig. 3, a sectional view of the package complete.

This invention relates to an improvement in packages for sheathing paperfor the market. As generally furnished to the trade, this paper is putup in rolls of varying widths, usually thirty inches wide. In using thispaper for linings around door casings and window frames narrow stripsare required, to obtain which the user is obliged to cut them from theend of the long roll.

The object of this invention is to unite to the roll of wide paper aroll of narrow paper and so connect the two that they will not be liableto become accidentally separated, and yet when wanted for use may bereadily detached, and the invention consists in the arrangement of rollsas hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

A represents a roll of paper of desired width, and as generally put uponthe market it is thirtyinches wide. In rolling this paper, a centralopening 13 is left, one end of which is closed by a plug C of wood orother suitable material, which prevents the roll from being crushed.

D is a roll of narrow paper which is wound upon a rod or roll E, of alength considerably greater than the width of the paper wound thereon,the said roll of paper being arranged on one end of the said rod. Theprojecting end of this rod is inserted into the openingB of the roll A,which serves to accomplish the same purpose as the plug 0 at theopposite end. It will be understood that these rolls are of the samediameter, and around the two rolls is placed a wrapping h of heavypaper, which not only serves to protect the sheathing paper composingthe roll, but also unites the narrow roll to the wider one.

With paper put; up in the manner above described, the user has simply toremove the outer wrapper F, when paper from either of the rolls may beused independently of the other, and if desired, the narrow roll may beentirely separated from the wider one. Thus the consumer is furnishedwith paper of convenient widths, without cutting or tearing.

It will be understood that, instead of having the rod E extend entirelythrough the narrow roll and into the wide roll, a shorter rod may beemployed; that is, one which shall extend a short distance beyond thewide roll and on to which the narrow roll may be placed; but it ispreferable to use the rod, as above described.

I am aware that paper having perforated or weakened lines has been putup in rolls, so that portions of the roll may be readily removed, and Iam also aware that two or more rolls of paper have been mounted on asingle hearing so that paper from either roll might be removed withoutinterfering with the other roll. I therefore do not wish to beunderstood as claiming such as my invention; but

What I do claim is- The herein described package of sheathing-paperconsisting of two independent rolls united by a rod which projects fromone roll into the abutting end-of the other roll than which it isshorter, said rod of a size to pre vent the rolls turning thereon, aplug entered intothe opposite end of said other roll, and a wrapperaround said rolls, and whereby the two rolls are firmly connected fortransportation, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

HINOTTE Cl-IATFIELD.
